[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming no college loans to pay and kid is working a low-paying/entry level job in a high rent city like New York or San Francisco, how much do you cover financially? Rent, extras? Thinking ahead and would like to plan.[/quote]

Why did your kid choose to work a low-paying job in a high rent city? [/quote]

You mean like working on the hill?[/quote]

Exactly, my DS would like a Hill job, and knows he'd probably have to live home for a while, but the expereince is worth it. We'll see, he's only a junior.[/quote]

PSA mom… if he is blessed enough to get job on the hill, he will NOT live at home and you well obviously helping him with rent. Working on the hill is all about connections and they are not made from 9 to 5. They are made after hours and if your child is at home having dinner with mommy and daddy instead of colleagues he might as well Just not have a job on the hill.[/quote]

Huh? Living with mom and a dad doesn’t mean having dinner with mom and dad every night. In fact if they are saving on rent money they can better afford dinners out and happy hour. When I was in my early twenties it was extremely common for recent grads working on the hill to live with parents or extended family. [/quote]
